Clutch numbers are insane though( 5 min left , score within 5) : 13/18 from the field , 6/8 from 3 ...

Man that's an insult to Nash. Fisher made big shots from time to time but he was pretty horrible for most of the game otherwise and his decision making was infuriating. Also look at Nash's 4th quarter numbers this season, they make Fisher look like a chump.

Alex Kennedy of Hoops World wrote:The Lakers, like any team with so many new focal points, just needed some time.
“I think time is definitely paramount for our success. Our recent success has definitely been due to time, but we still have a long way to go,” Steve Nash said. “I think the more we play together, the more cohesion and understanding we have defensively.”
Another key for the Lakers has been Dwight Howard’s elevated play. He had his best game as a Laker last night against the Orlando Magic, contributing 39 points, 16 rebounds and three blocks in his return to Orlando. Howard seems much healthier than he has all season, and as a result he’s playing with much more intensity, aggressiveness and confidence. Nash credits Howard for the team’s improved play, particularly on the defense end.
“I think Dwight has been great,” Nash said. “He has really stepped up and played with a lot of energy and toughness. I definitely think that Dwight is a key factor to our defense.”
While Laker fans are looking at the standings and trying to determine which first-round match-up is best for the Lakers, the team isn’t focusing on that. They’re just trying to win every game on the schedule to ensure that they’ll be playing when the postseason begins rather than watching from home.
“I think, for us, we’ve been in this situation with our backs against the wall since January so we’re not trying to worry about where we are in the playoff standings,” Nash said. “We’re trying to worry about winning the game in front of us and trying to be a better team every night. To get in the playoffs, one, we’re going to have to win a lot of games and, two, we’re going to have to be a better team to actually be able to survive in the playoffs. That’s why we’re just trying to get better every day."

"I feel like I killed us tonight," said Nash, who scored 11 points on 4 of 14 shooting. "I had so many opportunities tonight to put the ball in the basket and I didn’t convert. I’m kicking myself for it."
